Tony Hoffer’s “HoffShop 2010” Results

Sarah just landed a few hours ago, back from a workshop hosted by the one and only Tony Hoffer. She’s spending some much needed “mom time” with the little ones and I’m anxious to share what she shot.

Sarah and I feel so privileged that she was able to participate in his workshop. We were thinking about going to WPPI out in Las Vegas this year but decided Tony’s would be a much better experience. She was one of three photographers that was given this opportunity. This gave Sarah some excellent one on one time! Here are some of our favorites from Friday!

The first part of the day was a mock “Getting Ready” setting with the bride and make up artist. It was such an amazing house!

These next two couples that volunteered were to assist us with wedding/engagement style portraits. There were so many great photographs that I wish I could share them all!

Waterloo, Iowa

Posted in .miscellaneous

So I ran into a few photographs we snapped while up in Waterloo during our project photograph marathon. We bumped into these two sites cruising town. Anyone out there know much more about these two spots?

Not a fake sky — clouds and sun were doing some really rad stuff below. We just had to hang out long enough for it to happen. We were waiting for dusk so we could shoot some site lighting photographs of the Grout Musuem and Expo center.

Gilmor & Doyle :: Branding and Project Photographs

Posted in .commercial

We’ve taken a break from wedding and engagement photography this weekend to concentrate on some project photographs we’ve done for a local Des Moines engineering firm. I had a great time traveling all over Iowa to get some of these shots. As you can tell, these were taken when it was nice and warm outside! (Kind of embarassing how far behind these were in our post processing queue!) Enjoy!

State of Arkansas Library – Little Rock

Posted in .commercial

I made my way down to Little Rock several weeks ago to take a look at a project that I’ve been involved in. I was asked to bring my camera along to snap a few photographs of the place before it gets turned over to the state of Arkansas. I did just that. We also passed the time in the airport fiddling around with the camera.

None of these were shot by Sarah so quite a few of them are just ‘snapshots’. No professional lighting, no flash – just me with a 5D classic + 17-40. Enjoy.
